Fig. 4 - The Transformation is featured on Stereogum's Black Market. I've been following it for a year or two and it's by far my favorite monthly blog with really great picks that cover the whole metal spectrum (both mainstream and underground) with always a great editorial write up as the introduction. I highly recommend it for Sput metalheads to check it out every end of the month: https://www.stereogum.com/2021068/the-black-market-the-month-in-metal-october-2018/franchises/the-black-market/

Nice man! Did not hear many comparisons to other bands/albums so far but I can tell you Tales is one of my favorite records. Thanks for giving it a spin and feedback

My pleasure. Your guitar playing on the acoustic parts is mesmerizing, so is your song writing skills. Looking forward to more stuff in the future.

I really like the folk/acoustic parts but wasn't to thrilled about the BM parts

I didn't sport any corpsepaint while recording, it definitely weakened my bm game ;)

Oh I'm not really into the old school black metal anyway so that's probably for the better haha

it’s lite metal comparable to agalloch so indie-folk comparisons aren’t *that* inappropriate

I think this is the third metal album I've listened to since 2016 so I mean ribbing is absolutely accepted and encouraged. I'm no metal authority but I did enjoy the hell out of this and was pleasantly surprised that a sputnik user project would sound this crisp.

I've been regularly listening to this since it's release. It's just not growing old.

A little cheesy at times but it works. Not a bad album, probably 3.5 tier but gotta give it another spin
